When kids help make healthy food, they are more likely to try it. Show kids how to:

❁ mash bananas with a fork. A flat dish or plate might make mashing easier.

Freestone — the pit falls out easily. These varieties have firm texture, low sugar content, low juiciness, and white or yellow flesh. White flesh peaches may be slightly less sweet and lower in acid than yellow flesh peaches.
